Pournami Nagam
Starring: Mumaith Khan

Pournami Nagam is basically a remake of a film that has something with snakes, beautiful women and sweet revenge. It is somewhat similar to the film that will star Mallika Sherawat with the same concept on the “hissss” of a snake. No one like Mumaith Khan to be more that perfect to portray such role.
In this film, it is definitely noted how the computer graphics came out somewhat tacky to make it look more “hi-tech”. It was somewhat odd that most of the objects in the film transform into a snake or a bunch of snakes for that matter but most probably it was intentionally done to make sure that the taste of high technology was noted.
It all starts on one rainy night when Nizhalgal Ravi’s wife who is on her way to delivering her child is driven to a hospital which is oddly in midst of a jungle. There, Ravi is able to find a forsaken temple and decides to stop the car and bring her wife there. A snake then comes out to ring the bell of the temple letting the villagers know someone is need of Help, and how did the snake do all these? Let us simply put it as a “heavenly involvement”. Because of this, the snake took part in helping Mumaith Khan be born having a birth mark of a snake.
In another side of the movie is showing Nalini carrying out a yaga to get hold of a valuable stone that is born out of the union of two cobras and her squad is able to seize one cobra and obtain a stone but the other stone was unsuccessfully gotten thus the other cobra escapes without a scratch. Nalini is left furious and uses Mumaith as a means of causing mayhem to those men with wicked intentions and is also after the powerful stone.
The film can be unsurprising and somewhat predictable. If it were not for Mumaith Khan and a number of the scenes in the movie, it would have been worse. The graphics were not that helpful at all. Although the genre is fantasy, it was still unable to stun the audience and there weren’t much twists on the film and may also come out as vague.
As it is predicted, the dance numbers of Mumaith Khan were one thing that most audience were really after. Sad to say their interest was not really on the story line but on the actress which is not bad at all because it has also drawn in attention; better for that reason other than not having anyone to show up to watch the film.
